    Good Karma, Karpaha Sands and Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort are the best resorts with a jacuzzi in Sri Lanka.

  • Are there any important traditions to honour while travelling in Sri Lanka?

    Sri Lanka is a predominantly Buddhist country, so dressing modestly when visiting temples is crucial. Removing your shoes before entering a temple or someone's home is also customary. Showing respect for Buddhist monks and religious sites is essential. It's polite to greet people with a nod or a 'Ayubowan' (hello).

  • Where should you go for a fun weekend in Sri Lanka?

    For a quick getaway, consider exploring the beaches near Colombo – Negombo is easily accessible and offers a relaxed atmosphere. Alternatively, a trip to Kandy, exploring the Temple of the Tooth Relic and enjoying the city's atmosphere, would be a culturally rich experience.

    No single area in Sri Lanka enjoys perfect weather year-round. However, the southern and western coasts tend to have less variable weather, with the best conditions from November to April. Even then, there can be short periods of rain.
